I couldn't figure out how to add these photos to my last post, so I'm putting them here.

I had surgery November 16th 2012.

The first is a pre-op picture from last March. I weighed about 330lbs.

The workout gear picture was taken April 25th, 2013 right before doing a C25k unit. I probably weighed 237?

The blue/white dress pictures were taken May 4th, 2013, and I weighed 234lbs.

Highest weight- 330

Surgery- 310

Current- 233

My clothes fit VERY differently when I'm wearing shapewear. In the blue/white dress I'm wearing a shapewear slip which definitely smooths out the skin and makes clothes fit better. I'm not wearing shapewear in my workout clothes.

I find myself dressing up more than I did before because I'm feeling good. I'm definitely having a surge of confidence right now.

Edit: I am 25 years old and 5'10" tall.

Thanks everyone! "Cute as a button" heh. I probably haven't been called that since I was 5 years old!

Thank you!

Can I ask how tall and how old you are? You definitely don't look 233 pounds! You look great

You look so happy and proud. That's a good feeling. Congratulations!

I'm 5'10" and 25 years old, so my BMI in this picture is a little over 33, I think. The dress/belt/cardigan optical illusion definitely helps. I don't look like that in regular clothes. It's a very slimming combination. :-D

Lol even in the workout clothes you look great! Although I do absolutely love the dress and it is very slimming on you. I'm quite a bit shorter than you, 5'4, and a little older, 29, but I carry my weight similar to the way you did in the before pic. I'm 297 right now and hoping for surgery in June or July. You are definitely my inspiration!

I'm glad I can be inspiration! I still have a ways to go, but I'm so much healthier now. Good luck on getting a surgery date!
